Three men have been arrested after drugs raids in South Belfast and County Down.
Officers from the PSNI's Crime Team carried out a number of searches in the lower Lisburn Road and Whitehall Square areas of south Belfast as well as the Crossgar Road area of Ballynahinch.
Three men aged 27, 29 and 31 have been arrested on a number of drugs offences.
Constable Brown said: "We also seized a quantity of Class A drugs with a street value of £15,000, drugs' paraphernalia, a sum of cash and a stun gun.
"Good police work means that a significant quantity of drugs have been removed from sale. Drugs misuse is an issue of concern to the community and we are committed to keeping people safe by tackling drug supply."
The three men have now been released on bail pending further police enquiries.
